Working towards my Spirit-Quest, Masters in Metaphysics has been a very rewarding journey. I have learned how something as simple as grounding can pull you through just about anything.

I lost my daughter to unexpected death a few months ago. It has really been difficult to deal with many aspects of my life. However, this course has helped me be able to move through many of the pitfalls that come with grief and what if’s, fairly well.

Prior to this I was in a particularly stressful job, which did not bring out the best in me. This course taught me how to ground myself, and use the roses to protect myself from and get rid of all the negative energy that was coming to me. To let all the bad run right out of me. It was amazing how it would instantly ease my burden and give me a new perspective. This course also taught me how to create my own reality. To forgive, and move on, to not let bad energy stay in my space.

Even now, if a bad situation arises, I catch myself coming out of my protection mode as I call it. Others have noticed it too. And I am not angry. I am better equipped to handle my life and all the aspects of it. Now that I have grown spiritually, I realize that other people’s problems are not mine. Not saying that I don’t help others. I am huge in community service. I am saying that their problems are not my cross to bear. I cannot fix them. I am responsible for me. If we each take care of ourselves, I feel that we will be better grounded to mother earth and able to help out in situations where people may really need a hand, ear or shoulder.

The ULC, run by Rev. Long, has created a chaplaincy program to help train our ministers. We also have a huge catalog of Universal Life Church materials. I've been ordained with the Universal Life Church for many years and it's Seminary since the beginning and have loved watching the continual growth of the seminary.
